The best outcome here would be for the DA to drop all felony charges against Scheffler. Charge him with some summary offense. Scheffler pays the fine, and life goes on.
I think it's also the most likely outcome.

Scottie: next time ID yourself as ANTIFA on way to demonstrate. Looks like a CF to me. Did the coppers arrest the driver who killed the ped?

I once had a misunderstanding result in having a cop point a gun in my face at the business where I worked.
I've also been involved in a couple of somewhat chaotic traffic situations where two different police officers directed two different flows of traffic into each other's path.
Even if Scheffler was the biggest A-hole in the world, I'd go out of my way to assume that he did nothing wrong here.
And yes ... I think people who fly those silly "Back the Blue" flags in front of their homes are delusional fools.

At one point, an officer attached himself to the side of Scheffler's car. Cops need to STOP doing this. Many are killed or injured every year because of this stupid action. A traffic issue is NOT the time to jump on the car that is moving.

“Scheffler doesn’t have to have a clue.
You do what you’re told, make polite inquiries if you’d like to do something else.
You do NOT drive over a median.
The cop would have no way to know what the heck your intentions are.”

Actually no. Under these same circumstances, he wouldn’t.

He should announce his prize money is going towards a lawsuit against the police and the city.

Good cops are very few and far between.
To: packrat35
Well like I said, I doubt jumping on a car is standard police training anywhere.

The more facts get reported, the worse it looks for LPD. Scheffler turns into an alternate entrace to the golf club, officer "attaches himself" and he stops the car. Scheffler rolls down the window to ask what's going on, officer reaches in, grabs him, pulls him out of the car and throws him up against the side. Reporter is right there, some of the footage has been aired but I don't know if they got that, but it was reported that way.
One thing I'll say seeing the video is, if there was a national leftist civilian security force "just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded as the military" this is probably how they'd react, and for the reasons you'd expect.
Scheffler birdies the first hole. It's gonna work out fine.

If Scheffler had been black, that cop would have been in big, big trouble.

Just goes to reinforce something I've said for a long time.
When you look at all these police incidents that result in race riots and widespread destruction by BLM, Antifa, etc., what's really at work here is bad cops, not racist ones. You just never hear about the ones involving white victims ... unless the victim happens to be a top PGA player.

More than likely....things being what they are I’m sure it’ll just be considered a misunderstanding and swept under the rug......especially if the cop is a minority.

You do. But probably not if you live more than 100 miles away. White people don’t bring the outrage. Which is probably a problem. Lets face it, middle class and above white people are still the demographic politicians care the most about. If WE started making a stink about cops killing unarmed people, especially if we started taking money out of the economy, the politicians might actually try to fix it.

Pity Scheffler didn’t identify himself to LE, explain the situation, and politely inquire if there was a way to get past the backup. In my experience, good manners go a long way.

One of the biggest selling points when I relocated my home and business to another state (driven mainly by the COVID fiasco) was that the town where I now live has no police department.
